Pine Bush FD in Orange County has an '82 Mack 'scope with a pump and water tank. Many departments use quints, so why not on an Aerialscope.  Seagrave is smart to offer it.

It's a great option for only a mere 1.6 Million...

As drawn, I don't think we're looking at a rig that meets the NFPA definition of a Quint.  Looks like TL with a pump and a tank hidden in there somewhere.

The National Fire Protection Association outlines the requirements for a piece of apparatus necessary to function as a quint in NPFA Standard 1901, The Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus. Here is a summary of the quint requirements as detailed in Chapter 9 of the standard:

• Fire pump with a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute
• Water tank with a minimum capacity of 300 gallons
• Aerial ladder or elevating platform with a permanently installed waterway
• Hose storage area with a minimum of 30 cubic feet of storage area capable of accommodating 2.5 inch or larger fire hose; two hose storage areas, each with a minimum of 3.5 cubic feet or 1.5 inch or pre-connected hose lines.
• Enclosed compartments with a minimum of 40 cubic feet for equipment storage
• Complement of ground ladders containing a minimum of 85 feet of ground ladders, including at least: two extension ladders, one roof ladder and one attic ladder
• Suction hose of a minimum of 15 feet of soft suction hose or 20 feet of hard suction hose for drafting water.

Not sure where the hose and the hard suck are hidden in that Aerialscope...

 

Looks like it has the rest of the needed widgets.

15 feet of soft suction is easy to fit. And there is plenty of room under the boom
